Action Comics is now about Lex Luthor's hunt for a power ring.

Adventure Comics is now about the Legion of Superheroes.

Action Comics is now an awesome Sci-Fi book starring Lex Luthor and Robot Lois Lane.

Adventure Comics has Kal-El in it, but only as a teenager, getting to know the Legion of Super-Heroes.

Superman is the only book starring adult Superman.

And in the same way that Batman is exploring weird Silver Age sci-fi concepts, JMS is exploring Superman's superdickery.

Grant Morrison and Yanick Paquette will be doing a Brave and the Bold-style book called Batman, Inc.

Grant Morrison and Yanick Paquette will be doing a Brave and the Bold-style book called Batman, Inc.

As soon as I read that Morrison was inspired by Batman: The Brave and the Bold cartoon, I was sold.

"This is why the book was called 'The Return of Bruce Wayne,'" he added. "This is what happens when Bruce is more in the equation and what he does with the Batman idea and turns it into a franchise."

Wicked.

HOLY CRAP THEY GAVE WONDER WOMAN PANTS

http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/2010/06/29/unveiling-wonder-woman’s-new-costume-direction/

So McCheese's and I finally made a comic about the new costume And since I knew this was coming I decided to make my own design. Details in the link.

So, DC are dropping most of their 3.99 books to 2.99. That's cool for the most part. It means all the books with terrible back-up stories are going to lose the backups and also lose a dollar. Unfortunately, the main stories will be dropping to 20 pages instead of 22. Not a big loss.

The real tragedy is, the Jimmy Olson and Detective Gordon co-features are going to disappear in January. That sucks. The first portion of Nick Spencer's Jimmy Olsen was great, and a perfect follow-up to Cornell's Lex Luthor stories, and I was really looking forward to Snyder's Gordon. I feel like in those cases, they could have at least let the stories wrap. I mean, those are the two headline books for DC, so an extra dollar for a back-up feature doesn't seem like that big a deal. Chances are, the Jimmy Olsen stories would have finished when Action hit 700 anyway, in a few months.

Oh well!

There is this though:

"Fans of our co-features should stay tuned. Some of these characters will find a new platform," said Dan DiDio.

I imagine some of the co-features will remain as digital exclusives or be promoted to miniseries or ongoing titles.

Well, yeah. I'd be very happy for a new Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen and I think it would be a great opportunity to test the digital waters.

The real bummer is the Gordon back-up, specifically because it was supposed to loop hand in hand with the main 'Tec feature.

Those are really the only two co-features I have any investment in anyway.

 

[Zombipanda]

So...

Jimmy Olsen is becoming a one shot, Atom (which I shamefully forgot about) is becoming an ongoing, and everything else is being folded into one-shots or minis.

Nothing revolutionary, but the Atom thing is exciting.

Klarion the Witchboy is in the DC Halloween special!

I haven't seen him in anything since Seven Soldiers.

 

[Ultimate Houde]

He won't be the same I bet.

He was in Robin. Drawn by the same artist.

His cat in that Special actually spoke lolcat. Not sure how I feel about that.

Teekl is his name. Yeah, that part was really stupid. I can't remember - I think it might have only been one line, and just an off-the-cuff thing...I don't remember it being constant.
